will not ii the trees are grown in II
poultry-yard. During this growing and
forming period Mr.. Force gave careful
attention to pruning. Buddcd trees are
not even, symmetrical growers, but tend
10 send up Il few very strong shoots that
rob the rest of the tree of sustenance.
Oi course these must be cut well back in
early spring. or we have long naked
reaches of wood and II dcformed tree.
1t is far better. however, not to let these
rampant shoots grow 10 maturity, but
pinch them back in early summer, thus
causing them 10 throw out side branches.
by summer pinching and rubbing off Of
tender shoots Il tree can be made to
grow in any shape we desire. When
the trees receive no summer pruning,
Mr.. Force advises that the branches be
shortened in ut least one-half in the
spring, while some shoots are cut back
even more vigorously. At the age of
four or five years, according TO the vigor
of the trees, he permits them TO bear.
Now cultivation ceases, and the ground
is left to grow hard. but not weedy or
grassy beneath the boughs. Every
spring, Just rs the blossoms are falling,
he spreads evenly under the branches
four quarts of salt. While the trees
thrive and grow fruitful with this fer
tilizer, the curculio, or plum-weevil, does
not appear TO find ii ut all TO his taste
AS a result of his methods he has grown
large and profitable crops, and his trees
in the main are kept healthy and vigor-
Gus. His remedy for the black knot is
to cut OFF and burn the small boughs
and twigs affected. If the disease APP
pears in the side of limb OF in the
stem, he cuts out all trace of it, and
paints the wound with wash OF gum
shellac and alcohol
Trees load SO heavily that the plums
rest against one another. You will
often find in moist warm weather decay
ing specimens These should be re-
moved at once, that the infection may
not spread.
In cutting out the interfering boughs
do not take of the sharp-pointed spurs
which are forming along the branches,
for on these are maturing the truit-buds.
Mr. Force recommends the following
ten varieties, named in the order OF
ripening: Canada; Orleans, red
checked plum Mclaughlin, greenlsh,
with pink cheek; Bradshaw, large red,
with lilac bloom; Smiths Orleans, pur-
pie; Green Gage; Bleeker's Gage, golden
yellow; Prme d'Agen, purple; Goes
Golden Drop; and Shropshire Damson
for preserves.
If we are restricted to very light soils,
we shall probably have TO grow some OF
the native varieties. of the Canada and
Wild-goose type. In regard to both
this fruit and peaches we should be
guided in our selection by information
respecting varieties peculiarly suited tc
the region.-E. p Roc, IN Harper 5

The great Z. L. Barnum. in addressing 9
body OF business men at Bridgeport the
other day. said: "You do not, any of you,
advertise enough. You ought TO use print
er's ink every day. You are asleep and want
your business to run itself. Standing adver-
tisements in paper command confidence.
The man who for a year lives in one COM
munity and leads a reputable life, even
though he be of moderate ability, will grow
in the confidence and esteem of his people.
On the same principle a newspaper adver-
tisement becomes familiar to the reader. 1t
may seldom be read. Still it makes the
name and business of the man familiar, and
constantly appearing in the columns of a
paper, inspires confidence in the stability of
the enterprise" Mr.. Barnum is as well quail
fled TO express an opinion on the value of
advertising as any man living. He has ac-
cumulated q fortune by it.

The school unspectors.

The chairmen of the boards of school in
spectors, pursuant TO statute, met at the
Office of the county clerk on Tuesday, the
I'd instant. There was nearly full repre-
sentation present. After considering the
matter, it was deemed advisable not to elect
a new member of the board, as his Office
would necessarily terminate on the 26th ult.,
at which time the new law goes into effect.
Under this very proper action of the meeting,
Prof. Bradt will hold over until the date that
the new law will take effect. In the after
noon the inspectors, in conjunction with the
the county examiners, held a meeting for the
purpose of discussing educational matters.
The schools of the county were reported as
being generally in fiourishing, prosperous
condition, although there were some few
exceptions To the rule.

Last Saturday afternoon, we had the pleas
ure of short visit with William Cate of
Aurora, Illinois, he being for that day the
guest of his sister-in-law, Mrs. John Lundy,
his wife accompanying him from Illinois. but
remaining at Lawrence with her brothers,
the Hazards. When "Bill' Cate was seven
years of age, ffty-one years ago, be came
with his father to this county and remained
here twenty-four years, since when he has
been railroading at Aurora until noon of the
22d of January, four years ago, be was COM
PEELED to give up his work by reason of in
hamm8tory rheumatism. and since then has
been unable to earn dollar and for over a
year he could not move his feet without
help Although his hands are crippled SO he
cannot shut them, his feet so he can hardly
walk on them and his body racked with con
tinual and almost unbearable pain, Bill is
genial and like he was III some ways when
we knew him almost half o century ago.
Hundreds of instances might be told of the
acts of kindness displayed by Bill to the little
fellows younger than he, and in an aloud
parenthesis it can be remarked that the man
who has the friendship of the boys where he
lives always has heart for the right side of
this world. We hope Bill Cate may find re-
lief this side of the grave and that two score
moro of years may be granted him, with
every moment free from pain and full only
of pleasure.-SGHtiltd. AS we have called
Mr.. Cate Uncle Will" ever since we married
his wife's niece quarter OF a century ago,
we can do no less than endorse the good
words spoken by the Sentinel III reference TO
him.

Che Color Line.

The color line Is one OF the prlnci pa
things that dlsturbs society In the
South end Keeps 1t in q continual hub
bub. L. is a hard lesson for our South
arn brethren to learn that there can no
longer be religious or political color
line In this country. Hardly had the
excitement Of attending the refusal OF ,
number OF white military companies to
attend the great National drill ut Wash
Inpton died out because some colored
companies would be there, before
trouble has sprung up in the Episcopal
Diocese Convention OF South Carolina.
That convention Is racked nearly &c
pieces merely because some coiored
clergy delegates to the convention
clas med seats. The Presiding Bishop
decided that the colored brethren wer'
eptiiled to seats. Ansppeal WAS taker
from his ruling, and after ds5at'
lasting an entire day, 1t was sustained
whereupon Mr.. Memminger, q member
OF the late ex.confederate cabinet, lef
the convention and his example wa
followed by number Of others. Till
all seems queer for religious deromi
nation, and the question naturall!
arises, what are the views OF life enter
tAined amongst these people for tn
great hereafter? Do they really be
lieve there 10 future state, or Is thei
profession all a sham? Do they real!
believe that Heaven Is sub-divided u
into Denominations with the S,ut
Carolina gentry in ons corner and th
colored people in another? So far as
known the good book gives no reaso
to believe that there are reserved sea
in Heaven for white people, VIII
colored people are crowded 10 the q
lery. As men o. different hues al
colors are allowed. in fact, ccmpelle
to live In the same cities and towns
this lower earth, II will be difficult
find any good reason or authority
